Safety
The HPE fabric module system is classified as a class 1 telecommunications laser product employing embedded class 1
lasers and complies with the following:
THIS PRODUCT COMPLIES WITH FDA RULE 21 CFR SUBCHAPTER J IN EFFECT AT DATE OF MANUFACTURE.
PRODUCT COMPLIES WITH 21 CFR 104010 AND 104011
PRODUIT CONFORME SELON LE SOUS CHAPITRE J DU DOCUMENT FDA RÈGLE 21 CFR EN VIGUEUR LORS DE LA
DATE DE FABRICATION. PRODUIT CONFORME SELON 21CFR 104010 ET 104011.
Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) 60825-1, 60825-2
This product is classified as a: CLASS 1 LASER PRODUCT
APPAREIL À LASER DE CLASSE 1
This unit is intended to be installed in a Restricted Access Location only with access only by trained personnel.
WARNING: The primary hazards of exposure to invisible laser radiation from an optical fiber communications
system are:
• Damage to the eye by viewing an unterminated optical fiber or fiber optic connector.
• Damage to the eye from invisible laser radiation from viewing a cut fiber or a broken fiber.
Never attempt to view optical connectors that may be emitting laser energy and always avoid possible exposure to
invisible optical laser radiation. Using optical fiber scopes or magnifying lenses may increase the possibility for an eye

hazard. It is recommended that you use an optical power meter to determine if there is optical laser radiation present or
use a remote video display inspection tool to inspect connectors.
Electrostatic Discharge Precautions
Use Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) precautions when handling an HPE Composable Fabric module outside a data center
rack. Once the fabric module is installed in a rack, the mounting hardware provides grounding through the rack.
Guidelines
Observe the following guidelines to avoid ESD damage when installing or servicing the HPE Composable Fabric module.
• Minimize handling of assemblies and components.
• Assemble or remove equipment only in a static-free work area.
• Use conductive work surfaces (such as an antistatic mat) to dissipate static charge and wear a conductive wrist strap
to dissipate the accumulation of static charge.
• Keep replacement parts in their original static-free packaging.
• Remove all plastic, foam, vinyl, paper, and other static-generating materials from the work area.
• Whenever possible, use tools that do not create electrostatic discharge.

6About this document

Product Overview
The FM 2072 fabric module supports the HPE Composable Fabric through six QSFP+ ports in addition to supporting host
and router devices through 48 SFP+ ports.
Figure 1: FM 2072 Front Panel View
For port details, included supported port speeds, see Front Panel SFP+ and QSFP+ Ports .
Part Numbers
The FM 2072 part number depends on the direction of air flow through the fabric module chassis (determined by the
installed power supply and fan modules) and TAA compliance.
Guidelines and Restrictions
All TAA-compliant fabric modules require HPE Composable Fabric release 511 or later.

Checklist
Pre-staging
Task Check/Comment
Verify that redundant site power is available.
Verify rack air flow.
Verify equipment delivered.
Record the MAC address of the fabric module.
Determine the installation type:
• In an HPE Composable Rack.
• In another HPE environment.
• In a non-HPE customer environment.
Determine the speed of Composable Fabric you will install:
10 Gb/s per link
Develop a cabling plan and determine cable types and
lengths needed.
Installation
Task Check/Comment
Install the fabric module(s) in rack(s).
Install power cables. The fabric module automatically
powers up and boots. Verify green LEDs on power supplies.
Establish a management connection to the fabric module
through either the CONSOLE port or the MGMT port.
Install all fabric connection cables as per the Composable
Fabric cabling plan and build the fabric using either:
• FM 1006 interconnect
• Direct connect
If needed, for static IP, perform an initial fabric module
configuration as described in the document, HPE
Composable Fabric Module Administrator Guide using
Linux and CLI.
Configure the fabric module and the Composable Fabric
using the Composable Fabric Manager UI as described in
HPE Composable Fabric Manager UI Online Help.. For a
new fabric, the Composable Fabric Manager contains links
to guide you through an initial setup.
Table Continued
8Checklist

Task Check/Comment
If you installed either a new fabric or a new fabric module
to an existing fabric, perform a fit in the Composable Fabric
Manager UI as described in HPE Composable Fabric
Manager UI Online Help..
Carefully connect servers or other devices to access ports,
one at a time, and in the Composable Fabric Manager UI,
enabling each port as you install the connection and
checking for any potential issues.
Checklist 9

Pre-Installation
Verify Site Requirements
Observe the following requirements when selecting a site to install the fabric module.
Requirement Description
Altitude The module is designed to operate at an altitude ranging from 0 to
5200 meters (0 to 10000 feet).
Ventilation To ensure proper ventilation, allow ample airflow to the front and
back of the fabric module. The cooling fans and the power supplies
are oriented to support the airflow configuration ordered.
Temperature The operating ambient temperature of a closed or multi-unit rack
environment could be greater than room ambient temperature.
Ensure you install the equipment in an environment compatible
with the maximum ambient temperature (Tma) specified by the
manufacturer.
The fabric module must be used in a non-condensing environment,
in a temperature range above 0° C (32° F) and below 40° C (104°
F).
Circuit Overloading When you connect the equipment to the supply circuit, do not
overload the circuits. You need to consider the over-current
protection and supply wiring. Review the equipment nameplate
ratings before you start making connections.
Make certain that all input connections are accessible at all times,
and disconnect all power plugs before servicing or moving the unit.
Reliable Earthing/Grounding Maintain reliable earthing/grounding of the rack-mounted
equipment. Pay particular attention to any supply connections
other than direct connections to the branch circuit (for example,
power strips).
Cabling Ensure that power cords can easily reach from the power sources to
the fabric module.
Ensure that ample clearance exists at the front and rear panels to
allow unrestricted cabling.
Mechanical Loading Ensure that there is no uneven mechanical loading for the
equipment in the rack to avoid a potentially hazardous condition.
Equipment Protection Choose an area where liquids or other foreign objects cannot fall
onto the equipment or be drawn into ventilation holes.
Equipment Specifications Refer to the fabric module specifications in FM 2072
Specifications.
Unpack the Fabric Module
Unpack all fabric module components and inspect for shipping damage.
